' of France, residing at Villa Told-Ona, Ba-

yonne, France, have invented nevv and useful Improvements in Television and Telephotographic Apparatus, of Which the following is a specification. 1

My invention relates to television and telephot'ographic apparatus.

rEhe object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for the transmission of luminous impressions, to permit either the vieiving or the photographing of images and objects at remote distances.

The invention is based upon the following principles: first, the division of the image occupying the eld of view into a plurality of parts; second, the successive transmission of luminous impressions emitted by each of them; third, their perception one after the other by theeye, or by the receiving apparatus, for a duration of time that the last one i's inscribed before the first impression has disappeared; fourth, the repetition of this same operation a certain number of times, for the 'same surface under operation, in a Wav that the successive impressions of each Vone of the parts is persistent enough for it to be perceived or registered by the receiving apparatus.

My `invention consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as herein illustrated, described and claimed.

ln the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, I have illust-rated a forni of embodinientof my invention in which drawingssimilar reference characters designate corresponding parts, and in which:

F ig. 7 is a detail. of a modification including a light chamber at the transmitting station;

F ig. 8 is a detail of a modification including a selenium cell; and

Fig. 9 is a diagrammatical view showing how several partial images may be juxtaposed in the projection to form a complete image.

The transmitting apparatus, Fig. l, consists of a tube a, hermetically closed at its rear end. Mounted in the front end of the tube a is a double convex lens l). A transparent image carrying band c, is disposed through a transverse slot c3 in the tube a so that it may be rolled up on a cylinder d, rotatably supported on a suitable casing l.

An opaque disk e, is rotatably supported adjacent the tube a so as to extend througha transverse slot A4, and is providedwith radial slots s. rl`he dish e is arranged so that its shaft is below the tube a, so that rotation the disk as hereinafter described brings slots s successively into register with the ube and lens An opaque band f is disposed over idlers f3, carried by the casing 1 and arranged to pass through a transverse slot a5 in the tube a, and provided ivith a plurality of transverse parallel slots t arranged close to each other and regularly spaced. The band f is arranged around and to be actuated by a cylinder g', driven by a gear g meshing With a gear as hereinafter described, so that its slots t register' with the lens b andtube o.

A second opaque screen band x is arranged over idlers n, but being moved in a direction the reverse of the band j?, is provided with. slots u separated in such a fashion that the slots pass successively into the field of the eye piece, but in such a manner that only one slot is in the field at the saine time. The spacing of the two consecutive slots is, in addition, equal to the diameter of the eye piece. The band /zis arranged aroundV and is actuated by a cylinder t, formed integrally with 'the gear j, arranged to be driven by pinion j on the shaft jg of a suitable motor M0.

A third band screen 7c, absolutely similar to the screen f, and turning inthe same di'- r'ection is disposed over idlers 7a2 and a cylinav Slot a6 in the tube a, and is provided with transverseslot-'s 10. Y

The cylinders 2', 7a3 and g, are driven by the gear y' actuated by the motorr M0', and I the respective dimensions or" the screens and ofthe cvlinders for unrolling the same are suclrthat the speed of unrolling of each of the screens, f, 7L and 7c, is identical, the threeY a-bove mentioned gears g1, and kt having the same diameter.

A double convex lens m is disposed in the tube a and in its focal center is disposed a glass or crystal bulb n, in which vacuum has been made and containing an amalgam-.of sodium andrubidium. This bulb has in its lower part two' electrodes n2, one ol' which,

the negative electrode, is so placed as to contactv with the amalgam when the bulb is vin a horizontal position, the other electrode, or positive electrcde, extending into the bulb above the amalgam. The Ycontact is broken when the tube a is raised to vertical position so that the amalgam may pass into a .second darkened bulb n3, connected with the bulb n.' VThe -function ofthe darkened bulb a: is to protect the amalgam from the'action ot the light when the apparatus is to be lett out of operation for a long period. The positive electrode is connected with the positive pole of a supply of electricity, P, and the negative with one terminal of the primary circuit of an induction coil or transformer 0,

the other terminal oic which is connected to.

the negative pole ofthe source P. f

The secondary circuit of the induction coil 0 has one of its terminals connected to the ground T at the transmitting station and its 'opposite terminal is connected through the line wire L to the receiving station.l

The receiving element consists of parts identical with the parts described as constituting the transmitting element.

A tube a forming an eye piece; a magnitying lens b disposed in the tube; an image carrying band c, moved by a cylinder cl; Yan opaque disk c, having radial slots s, two bandscreens f and Ic', both alike and turning in the same direction and provided with f slots; a band screen h, with slots farther apart, of which a single one at a time comes int-o the ield of the eye piece, and being moved in a direction opposite to the screen f and c; a motor Mo controlling them with' a constant speed; a double convex lens m', whose principal focus is occupied by a lamp n, of mercury vapor, which is fed by the secondary current of a coil o, of which the primary circuit is connected to the secondary circuit of the transmitting apparatus. One terminal of said primary circuit is connected to the line wire L, the other goes t0 the ground T" at the receiving station.

F or limiting the etlective area of Vthe Aspace a square or rectangular shape. The

screw e extends outside of the casing Z and terminates in aknurled disk. The functions and the results are thesame for the disk o', the screens f', h, c, and diaphragm of the receiver. Y y v ln the operationof the invention a source of intense light p, being placed in rontrof and inthe principal focus ofthe lens b of the transmitter, parallel rays 'are retracted and projected intov the interior of the tube a. .Paralleh they traverse the screen 0, or do not traverse it, according 'as this` screen bears, or not, adesign Q (drawn ininlr, for

example, or in any other fashion-fprinted text, etc.) making an obstaclefto their passage. A raya, traversing this screen ata transparent point of the image to be transmitted.V

strikes the disk e, passing through avslot s, if this opening is in its patln Under these l conditions it continues its course in throughY the transverse openings t,

at the lens m, which defie'cts it upon the'bulb n, which we assume torbe in working posif tion, that is to say, in sucha way that `the amalgam of sodium and lof rubidium contained in it places the positive and negative` electrodes of the supply P in contact. p

ln the absence of any light the ,primary circuit ot the coil 0, operates normally and has no influence, as long asthe intensity-of the current remains constant, upon .theV sec- 44,110 and strikes Y soY ondary circuit of the same coil, which is closed bywgthe line (wire), L, which extends to the receiving station, the primary circuit of theV transformer 0 ofthe receiver (Fig. 1) and the two ground; wires T and T at the transmitting and receiving stations respectively. f .v f

The constancy of the currents of`P,does not allow of the formation of induction currents in the secondary circuito transformer iio Y iisv 0 of the receiver. But on the arrival of. the

luminous ray r at the bulb, the resistance of the circuit including the amalgam of' sodium and rubidium included inthe Vprimary circuit o the transformer vo is suddenly .de-

creased and the resulting variation in the amount of current flowing through 'the primary circuit of thetransformer 0 causes a corresponding induced current to How through the secondary circuit of said transformer. Said induced currentacts upon Vthe mercury vapor lamp a, ofthey receiving apparatus (F ig. l). v'The rays engendered by iso this lamp are retractedV parallel to the axis of the eye piece 1r/,by the lens m, and a certain ray r corresponding to ray r will cross through the screens, c, t, f', and the disk e and strike the screen c so as to illuminate it at a point which is the image of the said transparent point of the drawing to be transmitted. if the image is small, it may be observed by the aid of the magnifying lens b.

By replacing the screen o by a sensitive lm, said iilm will be impressed at a point which will be the photograph of the corresponding transparent point of the drawing to be transmitted. A f

In order to obtain on the band c an exact reproduction of the image on the band c, it is iirst necessary that the whole area of the part of the band c which lies within the ield oi'l the eye piece a be explored in all of its points and, second, that the paths lei't free for the luminous rays to pass at each instant through the diiierent screens at the transmitting and receiving stations should occupy at the same instant exactly symmetric positions in the iields. This lat ter condition is complied with by means ot any known arrangement' insuring a per fectly synchronous rotation of the different screens at both stations. In particular, the motors, M0, M0 will be run synchronously and with a constant speed and thel space between two consecutive slots u will correspond exactly, in the transmitting and receiving stations, with equal numbers of slots in the screens f and 7c. Y n

As regards the exploration of the whole surface of the image, it will be remarked that every slot u in screen it in its upward 'movement is met by a certain number oi'f slots t and lw in the screens f and 7e, each lor the slots t and the corresponding slot w being always located in the same horizontal plane in their downward movement through the field as results from the construction above described. Each time the ascending slot u comes thus opposite one pair oi:p slots t fw, a free passage is thus oii'ered to the light issuing from a corresponding hori- Zontal area oi the image. As the slotu progresses upwardly. and is successively met by slots t, io, corresponding horizontal portions or' bands oi the image are vthus able to be projected and the construction is such that as a slot a leaves the field, the whole image divided into transverse adjacent horizontal bands has thus been able to be projected, the order oi' succession in the projection of these transverse bands being of course 1from the bottom to the top oi the image, according to the direction ci the movement ot' screen It. The purpose in having one slotted screen 71J rotating in oneV direction and two slotted screens f 7c rotating in the opposite direction is to divide the ield in a very rapid and elicient manner into aA very great number of transverse bands while giving the 'screens a compara- 4sweeps overthe held so that the projectionV of every transverse band is in fact effected by projecting successively the small areas or dots, which successively form the intersection ot the said band and the radial slot s, the dot e., the point oit' the image which is projected at any instant, advancing along` the line formed by the transverse band as the disk e is rotated.

The whole area of the image is thus divided or reticulated into a considerable number of small points and the flashes of the lamp a at the receiving station correspond each time to the particular amount of light -projected through the corresponding point of the image or in other words to the transparency o said point, the lamp remaining dark i the corresponding point of the image was black since in this case the amalgam in bulb a has not been influencedl and no current has been induced in the secondary circuit of the transformer o.

it will be noted that, theoretically, the movement of the slotted bands being continuous, no slits can remain in full register during the time disk e sweeps across the beam. In fact the light beam made by the registering of the parallel slits is slightly wider in height for one position of slit e, for instance the vertical position, than for other positions of the same. This has however no disadvantage in practice as only the middle part of the band is comprised in the iield of the lens so that the diii'erences in the height of the light beam are so small that they cannot be appreciated by the eye. The light dots transmitted and received during the time a slit s of the c sweeps across the beam will so appear to have the same dimension in height and the blanks which might result in the image trom the diierences in the height of the light beam' will be quite imperceptible 'for the eye, the dimensions of the slits and the speed of the bands being always determined ,so as to divide up tho image into luminous lll) f points and for the transparent points of the image g, it is the image itself of g that will have made impression on the film o', or

ywhich the Veye will perceive at its reception onthe screen, c.

But these successive impressions willnot give to the eye an appearance of simultane- .ousiiess, and in consequence, a complete image, unless the speed with which vthe totality -of the eld limited by the vdiaphragm of the eye piece is traversed is great enough to Y permit the last impression to be made on Y.by more than live one v hundredths of a second.

These different luminous impressions will Tbe reproduced inthe same order a sufficient number of times in order that the ensemble of those of the saine segment may have lasted about three one hundredths of a second.

This figure is, besides, variable foreach observing retina according toits sensibility.

This result is easy to obtain by taking ac- .count on the one hand-of the speedv of the screen bands 7 andJs, and of 7i, the latter of which, moving in a direction oppositeto the first two, as well as of the speed of disk e, Vwhich is. jointly'proportional to that of the screens, j', 79,771 and, on the other hand of the ydimensions of the field left free by the diaphragm fai, Vwhich may be regulated at willuntilz the image becomes clear on the re vof the same image.

'Because ofthe exceeding ininuteness of the sections of the luminous segments necessary to use, the field of the diaphragm is necessarily small. The images transmitted .and received willbe then very Small-some square centimeters of surface-.which fact reduced in size, vor rather small fractions An. arrangement permits the successive reproduction of the different parts of a design by spacing each one Y of its parts Vduring a rather short 'time in order that, as in the cinematograpln'the different parts shall follow each other without interruption, as shown in Fig. 9, and give, Yeither `the complete vdesign on a receiving photographic plate, or upon the eye of the observer, theimpression of aV continuous image. This arrangement isV controlled by the screw Y regulation ldevice of the diaphragm m, which carries a gearing in. relation ,with a shaft, A, which, .through thel intermediary ofa screw, causes a guide, B, to advance, to the Vright or to the left, Vin a way to move a disk, C, far ornear from the cen- .ter of another disk,D, which controls the unwinding of :the receiving film, c, on the receiver, lor of the screen which carries the design7 c, on the transmitter.V This disk, C,

is borne by a shaft E, (E on the receiver) rotated by one of the motors, Mo, Mo', by means of oneof the, gearings F F. Each of the said gearings which are shown dia- Vgrammatically.in the drawing is so arranged that the shafts E, it rotate by a certain angle ,wheneve r a certain number'of adJacent slots a (for example, ten) have traversedA Y the field Of the eyepiece.' Y.

This number of times (ten for example) is that which, multiplied by the duration of the impressionof a pencil of light, gives a total duration equal to that necessary for the eye to experience a luminous sensation. This duration is variable foreach observer, but

is ordinarily of from two to-three one hundredths of a second.

Gtherwise expressed, there are as many times of repetition of the image on the field of the eye piece as the number of times the slot a passes. into the fieldjof the eye piece,

and, this repetition number being fixed, forV example at ten, whenever ten successive slots u will have traversed the field, the geari-n'gs Y F, li" will cause the shafts E, E to advance ln, addition, this intermittent rotation of Vthe shaft E, Ef, and of the -disks C atV the transmitting and receiving stations will ef,-

fect the rotation of the disks D, in a variable degree, according as rollers C will have been Lbrought more or less contiguous to the ceni will oblige the vtransmission of images much l ter of the disks, D, byadjusting the regulating screws e ofthe diaphragms fr., so that the unwinding of the image carrying bands c, c which is thus effected intermittently,V

will have each time the proper extent correpondino` to the actual opening of the dia- The desired result is ob- ,tained when the successive'partial images. sent appear to the vreceiving' operator as a phragnis norma-l and uninterrupted image.

lt must be noted that the control of the CJi ldiaphragm in the transmitter has foreffect"V only to increase or retard the rapidity of the rsuccession of the partial images to accord with the minute surface of these partial im- Y. ages. The greater the speed of the motors,

the shorter the tinierthat runs beween the passage of two successive slotsa across the v field and the smaller the partial image ofa transmitted image. The diaphragm space should then begsmaller in order togtakejit inand prevent two. partial imagesfrom overlappinO.

The observer', byy the 'aid -of the screw e will then reduce the-opening of the Y diaphragm, andk this operation will also 'niake the partial images on the transmitter orv the partial Yreceiving zones-of the receiv- 'f ing -lm appear more rapidly.

YThe speed 'of the motors determines Vthe cross sectional area of the liofhtpencils, then,

(in consequence, vthe -finenessjof thedesign 130 sent or received. The dimensionrof the diaphragm determines the area of the partial design, and the speed of succession of these partial images that are to be thrown to-V gether to form a complete image g as shown in Fig. 9. Y Y

An important condition to be observed in operation is that vthe position of the first luminous ray be the same in two elements (transmitter and receiver). This is secured by causing the situation of the receiving eye piece to vary parallel in its vertical plane and in regard to the band screens. To this end the eye piece a may be carried by a rack 6 Which is guided vertically in a support 7 and may be raised or lowered by means of a pinion mounted in the support and actuated by a knob 8. By this means a slot (u) of the screen h may be caused to enter the field a little sooner or later according to the requirements. In ad dition, the diaphragm may be adjusted to properly frame the very simple image (cross or arrou7 as illustrated) sent as a test, and` adjust the speed of succession of the partial images and also the extent of the intermittent advancing movement of the sensitive film used, or the image carrying` band of the transmitting element of the apparatus.

By replacing inthe transmitting part the lens fm, and the bulb a, by the lens m', and the image carrying band c', the image transmitted can be immediately visualized at the transmitting station. This result maybe obtained Without substitution of any sort by' inserting between the screen le. and the lens m, a light chamber, disposed perpendicularly to the axis of a tube a and by means of which a duplicate of the rays issuing from the image to be transmitted may be observed. Such an arrangement is shown diagrammatically in Fig. .7, in which 10 indicates the prism of the light chamber. l1 is yan eye piece mounted on the ytube a, through Which the duplicate image reflected by the prism is observed.

At the transmitting station may also be placed a receiving apparatus actuated either by rays coming through the light chamber, or through a branch line connected to the secondary circuit of the coil o.

The apparatus, then, is capable of transmitting the image of a printed Vorvvvritten telegram, or the contourof an object in a Way to render this image visible to the eye of an observerat the receiving station, or susceptible of being v received by a sensitive plateat the same station and to obtain its photograph. i

In orderV tosend a noni-transparent object, an arrangement slightly different Vmay be'used (Fig. 5). The object, H I, is placed Without the localplane of the lens b, which acts as the objective of aphotographic apparatus, and the image" is reproduced at the rear part with a slide permitting to focus theimage of the object, H I, on the plate c,

the same as for an ordinary photographic apparatus.

ln order to give greater clearness to the image of the object, we light this latter by mea-ns of a supply of intense light, L', (an electric arc light for example) Whose rays are reected by a mirror, M, upon the object, H l. The object may be the visage of a person, who may be seen or photographed directly at the receiving spot.

If the object is too considerable for a reduction to the dimension vof the field of the eye piece to be practically utilized (as a landscape, for example), the arrangement (Fig. 6) permitting its reproduction in a series of partial images is used.

This arrangement comprises a rotatably mounted mirror P having a plurality of re-v flecting surfaces P', P2, P3, P4 located at different distances from the axis of rotation of the mirror and suitably inclined. Byv

means of this arrangement, the part OO of the object orimage to be transmitted is reflected by the surface P on to a reflecting plane Q which acts to reflect it into the objective formed by the tube a and givethe image on the image carrying band or screen c as described With respect to Fig. 5. From this screen, the image is transmitted as in the apparatus vof Fig. 5. The mirror P is then rotated one step, whereby its reflectingplane P2 comes into play and takes such a position, as to project on to the mirror Q the next part O O2 of the image. mirror P being further rotated later on,.the part G2 O3 of the image will be reflected on to the mirror Q by the reflecting face P3 of the mirror P and so on so thatthe different parts of the image or object are thus transmitted Without said object or imago having to be moved. The mirror P may be suitably andrintermittently rotated by the motor by means of a gearing such as diagrammatically shown in Fig. 6. If each of the partial images such as O O2 is to be transmitted ten times as explained above, the mirror P will of course be lstationary during thel Whole time ne"essary for ten successive slots u of the screen h to traverse the field of the eye piece, then the mirror will be rotated one step so as to reflect the next part` of the image -or object and so on. Y

.The mirror P may in this Way break up the image O N into many partial images, which Will permit, on their reception, the view of several images in juxtaposition With eachA other cinematograplically,'or being re- The produced photographically under `the saine conditions. y y 'l Also, the variations of intensity in the circuit of the battery P may be obtained by means vof a selenium cell S substituted for the bulb fn, assliown diagrammatically The bulb n may also contain, in the lirstarrangement described' any one of the potassium', sodium or vrubidium ainalgiuns- Y Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent of the United States is: y
